I have just come back after a few years and it's quite sad. Maybe

I think it's more likely to be the S/N ratio found on Usenet these
days, as you say, it's quite sad - a couple of other groups I've
posted to in the past also seem to be slowly dieing too due to spam
and trolling. :~((

It's odd - I think the s/n ratio here has improved recently due to the 
abrupt halt in the flame wars that kept happening.

It's not dying, it's just people have stopped fighting.

It's odd - I think the s/n ratio here has improved recently due to the 
abrupt halt in the flame wars that kept happening.

It's not dying, it's just people have stopped fighting.

I have just come back after a few years and it's quite sad. Maybe
people just don't talk anymore?

I think it's more likely to be the S/N ratio found on Usenet these
days, as you say, it's quite sad - a couple of other groups I've
posted to in the past also seem to be slowly dieing too due to spam
and trolling. :~((
